The Old Man and The Sea by Ernest Hemingway
Instead of the heroic old man and the gallant marlin we see a kind of anthropomorphic delusion in which a hook of steel and a large brain torture a huge, dim-witted creature to death.
The Old Man and the Sea is in a sense a story best experienced young, which is one of the reasons it is on the high school curriculum.

 SparkNotes: The Old Man and the Sea: Themes, Motifs & Symbols
Because the old man acknowledges that he killed the mighty marlin largely out of pride, and because his capture of the marlin leads in turn to his heroic transcendence of defeat, pride becomes the source of Santiago’s greatest strength.
The reader notes that as Santiago slays the marlin, not only is the old man reinvigorated by the battle, but the fish also comes alive “with his death in him.” Life, the possibility of renewal, necessarily follows on the heels of death.
As opponents for the old man, they stand in bold contrast to the marlin, which is worthy of Santiago’s effort and strength.

The wise old man (or "Senex") is an archetype as described by Carl Jung.
The wise old man is often seen to be in some way "foreign", that is, from a different culture, nation, or occasionally, even a different time, than those he advises.
This is Latin for old man in general, and in fact, two stock characters of the stage are the senex iratus, an old man who irrationally objects to the love of the younger characters, and the senex amans, an old man foolishly in love with a woman too young for him.
